Dr BrOwAe's Reply.

EQttOT Qf Ne1S:-
 Permt me to take advantage of your valuable medium through which to answer the proposition made to me by several prominent citizens at the close of the series of lectures recently deliver ed by Dr Largest and the writer, in your village. l now beg to say that after having had little time to con- sider the matter, should be pleased to accept the offer referred to, mainly as specified at the time. However, to give . more definite form and general under standing and publicity to the proposal I would here state that if the sale of one hundred course tickets at not less than seyenty-five cents each, were guaran- teed to me by committee of ladies and gentlemen of Canaan, as proposed, l would repeat the series of six illustrated lectures on face reading, with such changes as would make them addition ally attractive and valuable on such dates as may be considered advisable by the committee, provided, that the time designated is within or not later than three months from date. Travelling ex- expenses, board and incidentals would be paid by me, but the rent of hall, lighting and heating would, should expect, as in all such cases. be assumed by the committee All money realized on course tickets or single admissions over and above the guaranteed number is to be the property of the committee and at its disposal.
 It is scarcely necessary to add that a sufficient number of the very intelligent portion of your community are fully acauainted with and we'll qualified to judge of the merits and value of the lectures in question, which have the endorsement and encomiums of large number of the best critics and promi- nsln men and newspapers of America asd England to insure successful and sI6isfsc9ory results, financially and other wiss, should the arrangements be eersjed out e hes been proposed. l am

Their trade is simply enormous in this very valuable article from the fact that it always cures and never disappoints.

Sensible Atlanta Maldens Propose TO Pun-
ish Him for His selfishnesa.
A war has begun in Atlanta against
the parlor beaux-young men who like
to spend an agreeable evening with
young ladies at their homes. but who
never ask the young ladies to 60 to the
theateror any other place where money
is necessary. One young woman says,
with disgust, that young men spend
evenings in her parlor and tell her all
about the performances they have at
tended alone. by
This is timely and wholesome war
fare. Any evening numbers of young
men may be seen at the Milwaukee
theaters alone. although they are
known to be society young men and
indefstigable parlor beaux. They go
to the theater whenever there is any
thing worth seeing, alone, although
they are able to take young ladies.
There never was time when young
men were so indifferent to the just
claims Of young ladies. There is an
understood rule that the young man
shall make some recognition of
courtesy at the hands of a young lady.
but if he does this, he certainly does
no more. There is no escaping the
conviction that the young man who is
constantly enjoying the society OF
young ladies. is very mean-spirited
and selfish person if he attends q thea
ter alone. There are any number Of
charming young women who do not
require that young man shall go to
the expense of a carriage. They are will
ing to go by street-car, or better yet to
walk, to the theater. Any young man
with the right sort of feeling. is willing
to go only half as often and to take :
young lady wieh him. ~ 80
The Atlanta girls resent their treat
mcnt not because of the loss of the
theater, but because of the lack of de-
cent consideration the young men show.
1t is the indifference to one of the
plainest rights of young women. They
propose to use the cold shoulder here
after. They do not intend that young
men shall play the role of grand mognl
and think it is enough if they. smile ON
the young ladies of an evening in the
parlor. The girls are right about this

Bow He Enthusiastically Rseosnisea His
TofmeStof Of Year Ago.
The funniest thing 1 ever saw o.
heard of in connection with the msm-
cry of animals happened one year
when was out West with a travelling
menagerie. You've heard, Of conrse,
how elephants will remember an in
suit twenty years, SOME say longer.
Well, this little incident concerned q
giraffe and girafes, you know. are
not generally credited with much
sense, any Way, to say nothing of menu
ory. Bur this one showed agreat tieaf
of the latter quality; any ,waysxW We had
got as far Dis Rock Island, H., where
we had to cross the Mississippi on an
old ferry, that being before the big
Government bridge was built here.
Everything went all right untik we
came to this giraffe. He wooldo't 70
on the ferry Coaxing. soaring. push
ing, beating did no good. He simply
lay down on the river bank and would
not bulge. While was working over
him the ferry made another trip. When
sho eame back up gets, Mr.. Giraffe as
spry as you please the first time
| urged him and marched straight
on to the ferry. Several apeo-
pie who had been on the boat the trip
before aud seen the CRATES queer ca
,pers on the other side of the river were
waiting to see what kind of luck / had.
Well. the boat was fifty feet or 50. from
the down shore when that giraffe hap
pened to turn his head toward the
landing and see those people. He gave
giraffe trumpet. and, before ! kneY
what he was doing. jumped over the
rail, into the water. It took three
quarters of an hour to pull him out.
Now, what do you think was the mat
ter with that giraffe? I discovered it
while the crowd was gathering around
the rescued animal below the dock.
Among the people was one tall, slim
young fellow that the giraffe seemed
to have a particular aversion to.
When he saw the young man near him
he began to tremble violently, and
make desperate efforts to break away.
/ questioned the young man. and
found that year before he had crossed
on the fcrry-boat with this menagerie.
There was giraffe among the animals
on the lower deck, and his head had
stretched away up to the passenger
deck of the ferry, where the young
man was sitting with some friends.
As the giraffe's long neck had come
twisting around in his direction he had
been cruel enough to take q quid 0.
tobacco and throw it down the CRATES
open mouth No doubt it was the
same giraffe had with me then, and
no doubt, too. he recognized his tor
mentor the instant his eyes fell on him.

SONG OF A NOBLE GUILD.

song for the toiler. everywhere,
Whatever his ped gree
For the man who meets the worlds rough
And makes 1t better for brothers there
That's the man we love to see.
Here's health to the arm that guides the
And the hand that Yields the spade;
But Irvine y green wreath to grace the brow
OF the noble knight we think OF now.
AZ he plies his cunning trade,
A song for the printer and his art,
We know not how dark would seem
The path we tread. il he took no part
In the tran ng OF the human heart.
Or the oiling of the stream.
The mighty brains of the world may think,
And probe the secrets OF time.
But their work would want the binding link,
II there was no hand with type and ink
To bear 1t to every cline.
Though silent the force, the touch is strong,
The ease" is the world to him, t-
But he knows first OF the stirring song
Ere the earth's echoes sweep it along
From his attic hot and grim.
song, song for the printer then
Think OF the honor he owns
Think. he gives life to the thoughts of mon,
Till they fash truth again and again
To slaves as to heirs Of thrones.
Sing well. sing loud to the printers name
He builds. and who dares pull down?
There's never trump that speaks of fame
The sound OF his triumph may disclaim,
as he weaves his own renown.
